    Start Vino server from command line in 18.04

    Hi,

    until 17.10 I could start/enable Vino server from command line with
    >gsettings set org.gnome.Vino enabled true

    In 18.04 the 'enabled' key is not there anymore ( checked with `gsettings list-recursively org.gnome.Vino`)

    So my question: how can I enable/start Vino from the command line in 18.04 ?

    (I know how to do it via GUI, but I want via command line as I have to enable it remotely via ssh)

    Best regards,

    Gino

    Vino is now enabled by network connections via network manager. Run the following to get the UUID of your network connection:
    Code:
     nmcli connection show
    Then run the following command, replacing the xxx's with your UUID. Reboot and you should be able to connect to Vino.

    Code:
    dconf write /org/gnome/settings-daemon/plugins/sharing/vino-server/enabled-connections "['xxxxxxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxx-xxxxxxxxxxxx']"

    If not using network manager, you can symlink /usr/share/applications/vino-server.desktop into the $HOME/.config/autostart directory. See these links for reference:
